We never had the alsations but had plenty of small figures of cats won from the Fair in Newsham Park,along with plenty of goldfish carried home in those little see through plastic bags

Me and my mum still say parlour - which my husband finds highly amusing.
.. and also because we say vestibule ! .. but we do have a vestibule - that's what it is called. The space between the front door and the door into your hallway - a vestibule !
ps, Collegepudding, I always worried about the poor little fish in plastic bags. Very cruel,I hate to think what became of half of them.
most people never knew how to look after fish properly - poor things stuck in a glass bowl.
